Because I’m hardly ever at home for more than a month at a time anymore, my mother had taken to turning my room into an extra closet of sorts. Whenever I returned home for Thanksgiving or Christmas, I would arrive to see things thoroughly out of order and new pieces of furniture, blankets, and photographs stuck here and there. This summer, I decided to try to reclaim it, at least temporarily.
I made a few additions to the room including a quartet of paintings that I created from wood from Home Depot (only $8 for all of it!), a new alarm clock, and the chair and American flag I bought at Sloan’s. I created the DIY chandelier a few years ago by stringing large christmas bulbs through a chandelier I bought at IKEA.
For those who are unfamiliar with my bedroom, it can be a little bit odd when entering it. For one thing, it pretty much is the size of a closet. It is also painted a particularly garish shade of yellow. I have a cup of black Sharpie markers in my room and when people enter it, I allow them to draw or write whatever they want on the walls. All-in-all it creates a nice black and yellow bumblebee sort of color scheme.
